Materials & Structure
Why Hollow Straw Performs Better for Outdoor Teams
The hollow straw / hollow grass body is a material upgrade over dense rush straw. This is the functional outdoor-duty option for staff programs that run in heat, humidity, and coastal sun — where comfort determines whether the hat is actually worn.
Physical Shade
The 11.5 cm brim provides wide physical shade coverage for face, neck, and shoulders — essential for long outdoor duty.
Breathability
Open hollow-straw structure supports airflow and reduces heat buildup — better than dense rush straw in hot, humid coastal environments.
Sun Protection Boundary
Natural hollow straw has small light gaps. For UPF 50+ positioning, add verified under-brim fabric lining rather than relying on straw body alone.
Wind-Use Structure
For beach, surf, and lifeguard staff, brim binding or an optional shaping wire should be confirmed to reduce brim flipping in windy conditions.
Secure Wear
A chin strap or adjustment rope helps keep the hat stable during outdoor staff use — especially important for active lifeguard roles.
Lightweight Distribution
Lower wearing weight and OSFM elastic sweatband reduces inventory complexity for resorts, beach clubs, pools, and seasonal outdoor teams.
UPF 50+ Available Upon Request
The base straw body provides physical shade and airflow but is not a standalone UPF-rated product. Verified under-brim fabric lining with testing documentation is required for UPF 50+ positioning. Contact us to confirm materials and test evidence.
Custom Branding
Branding Options for Hollow Straw Hats
Patch-based branding is the recommended logo path for this model. Hollow straw
has a looser open weave — high-density direct embroidery can cause straw breakage or distorted artwork.
Woven Patch
Best for hollow straw — clean edges, no straw breakage
Leather Patch
Premium texture, branding mark for resort programs
Rubber / PU Patch
Waterproof option for beach and surf programs
Fabric Patch
Versatile, good for full-color artwork
Branded Ribbon
Classic hat branding, full-width logo band
Woven / Care Label
Hangtag and private-label packaging included
Direct Embroidery
Caution: loose hollow straw may cause skipped stitches or straw breakage
Screen / Heat Print
Better on fabric areas — under-brim lining, ribbon, or patch — not on straw body
Feature Upgrade
Under-Brim Fabric Lining
Under-brim fabric lining is both a visual customization option and a functional upgrade — turning the hat from a basic straw model into a premium branded piece for resort and event programs.
- Adds clean printable surface for logos, team graphics, resort patterns, and brand colors
- Reduces light passing through hollow straw structure
- Supports stronger sun-protection positioning with verified fabric and testing
- Creates higher-value configuration for resort, beach club, event, and staff uniform programs
